Where you’ll be staying: Residence Kreek & Duin in context

Set between the village of Westkapelle and a nature reserve, Residence Kreek & Duin is a distinctive complex of three architecturally curved villas that follow the sweep of the creek. Guests can choose from 40 luxury apartments and 10 generously sized penthouses.

• A spacious communal garden flows directly into the Westkapelse Kreek nature reserve, enhancing the feeling of tranquillity.
• Each apartment includes dedicated parking on site.

This setting creates a serene, nature-linked experience—ideal for quiet mornings, scenic walks, or simply enjoying the view over the water.

What guests should expect during the works

Roof projects are routine upkeep designed to preserve building quality. While Kustlicht will aim to minimise disruption, some practical realities are common to roof work. Here’s what you may experience, so you can plan with confidence:

Intermittent daytime noise

• Roof maintenance can involve periods of intermittent noise from tools and movement on the roof.
• Activity typically clusters in the daytime; exact hours can vary with the contractor’s schedule and weather.

Aerial work platform and visible activity

• During the 2026 window on the first and third buildings, work may be carried out using an aerial work platform.
• Guests could see equipment in specific areas and occasional movement of contractors around the buildings.

Access guidance and on-site signage

• Temporary guidance (for example, brief detours around a work area) can occur during active phases.
• Follow on-site instructions to move safely around any designated work zones.

Outdoor spaces and views

• Apartments retain their private terrace or balcony. At times you may notice contractors working above or nearby, depending on the building and stage of work.
• The south-facing communal garden remains a tranquil feature that merges into the nature reserve; guests can continue to enjoy the open outlook when works are not immediately adjacent.

Weather-dependent scheduling

• As noted, progress is weather-dependent. Calm, dry conditions can speed certain tasks, while wind or rain can delay them.

Throughout, Kustlicht will work to limit any inconvenience for guests.

Practical tips to make the most of your stay

A little preparation goes a long way. These straightforward steps can help ensure a smooth experience during the maintenance windows:

1. Plan your days around the outdoors

   • Schedule longer beach walks, village visits, or nature reserve outings during likely activity hours. The Walcheren coast offers ample paths and viewpoints within easy reach.

2. Use your apartment’s outdoor space strategically

   • Your terrace or balcony is designed to capture the sun. If noise occurs, consider relocating to the communal garden area or timing balcony relaxation for quieter periods.

3. Pack for comfort and flexibility

   • Earplugs can enhance rest if you’re a light sleeper.
   • A light windproof layer is practical for coastal walks in variable weather.

4. Follow on-site guidance

   • Respect any temporary signs or instructions near work zones. If asked to adjust your route briefly, it’s to keep everyone safe and work moving efficiently.

5. Stay informed

   • Check your pre-arrival information and the guest information on site for updates.
   • If you have questions, contact the team at +31 (0)118-561809 or kustlicht@kustlicht.nl.
